a mishmash of my life

I'm feeling pretty sistar deprived right now... I miss you all so much, and I've hardly talked to any of you in what feels like at least a year. :(
So anyways, here's a sorta update on what I've been doing...
I wrote a math contest on Wednesday. It went... hopefully okay, since this is the year I'm looking for scholarships and stuff. I used up 2 hours of the time, which is much better than the first time I did it:P
On top of the math, school's been SUPER busy. I've had a lot of FTC stuff, plus history club, tutoring, and two ISUs given out... The one for history has actually given me a lot of trouble, which is surprising considering its my favourite class. It was nearly impossible to pick a topic, since we're doing "dark chapters" in history, and they have to basically be little known war crimes/genocide/shocking events/mass murders that never get put into textbooks. And to be honest, I'm not interested in that sort of stuff. I don't really want to know about it.
I finally ended up picking the treatment of aboriginal people in Australia. Hopefully I can get into it enough to write 3 pages and make a cool visual.. and get a good mark. It's so hard because last year I was SO interested in my topic, and I put a lot of work into it. And I don't want to let my teacher down when this year's isn't nearly as good:S
On a different note, I went to watch the gym meet today. It was fun, and really good to see everyone<3 Emily S, one of the little girls, came with me (she's SO cute!); and Joy, Alison, Alex and his GF Jess all went too. Watching the level 9s really made me realise that I was ready to be done... I'm not cut out to be in that world anymore. Everyone from my generation is gone, and I don't really fit in to any of what's left. I don't want to be the bitchy older girl, and I'm not the tiny up-and-come-er. Its still really sad to be leaving the gym world behind though:(
One thing I will say though... Our club needs someone to just clean up basic competition stuff. Common sense mostly. Like, Emily and Missy's hair was disgusting. USE GEL PLEASE, it looks a thousand times more professional. Also, SMILE a few times and stop being so obviously nervous. It makes a huge impression.
Anyways, I should get some sleep. Lets get together soon <3
